Atriumfibrilleren – in welke richting beweegt het onderzoek zich ? Isabelle C Van Gelder University Medical Center Groningen The Netherlands

AF – future research

Classification of AF

Clinical events affected by atrial fibrillation

Associated diseases

Systolic blood pressure and new AF

Rhythm control

Amiodarone the best: SAFE-T

Prediction of successful rhythm control

PA-tdi

New onset AF associated with severity of structural remodeling

Diagnostics to evaluate atrial substrate for AF

AFFIRM and RACE

Atrial remodeling starts far before first AF

ACE-I and ARBs for prevention of AF

Primary prevention in hypertensives and LVH

Primary prevention in hypertensives and LVH

Primary prevention with ACE-I early after AMI with LV-dysfunction

Future goal: primary prevention in patients at risk

Future goal: upstream therapy for secondary prevention

GISSI AF: secondary prevention in AF and risk factors with valsartan

Time to first recurrence of AF

GISSI AF: secondary prevention with valsartan

ACE-I/ ARB + amiodarone is superior

RACE 3 Routine versus aggressive upstream rhythm control for prevention of early atrial fibrillation in heart failure

Hypothesis RACE 3

Prevention CV morbidity and mortality

New treatment goals in AF and unmet need

New treatment goals in AF and unmet need

Eurides, Adonis: Dronedarone for rhythm control

Dionysos: Dronedarone vs Amiodarone

Erato: Dronedarone for rate control

ATHENA – endpoints

ATHENA: Dronedarone for prevention CV morbidity and mortality

ATHENA – primary endpoint

ATHENA – death from cardiovascular cause – 29%

ATHENA – 1st hospitalization due to CV events – 26%

Dronedarone reduces CV hospitalizations: – 26%

ATHENA - risk of stroke – 34%

Dronedarone – safety: adverse events

Potential ways in which dronedarone could influence morbidity and mortality

Upstream therapy for prevention CV morbidity and mortality

Conclusions

Thank you for your attention

Conclusions dronedarone

Dronedarone – multiple benefits

Upstream therapy – applying drugs that ameliorate the substrate of AF

Why upstream therapy ?

AF – natural time course
